Synopsis

It’s possible that the void is filled with particles so small they can’t be detected and this is why light gains a top speed of 186000 miles per second and goes no faster.In a true void light would not be held back; but then without these extremely small particles light may not be able to travel at all.For all intents and purposes a void is a void if it is deemed empty of all measurable substances; but it is possible that there is no true void and that it is filled with a substance that is no substance and so can’t be detected or measured and that is why light travels in waves and particles both.Sound won’t travel in a void because the particles are too small to carry the sound waves; but light, being a higher energy makes use of this invisible substance to travel along similar to the way sound uses the atmosphere to travel.This has yet to be proved and so remains a theory and like Zen this can best be understood when you don’t say anything about it at all.
